Love tape

This DIY romantic wall art, brought to you by Traveling Mama from the Flying House blog, is so simple, yet so lovely. Using washi tape, spell out the word love. Have fun adding this sweet decoration to a bathroom mirror, bedroom door or on a window.

Chocolate treats

What’s a better way to say “I love you” than with a giant note written out of gold heart-shaped chocolate! Personalize it with a love note of your choice. It's dual-purpose decor at its best.

Pretty garland

These handmade, felted wool hearts and spheres will look adorable in any room. Drape or hang them in any space to create romantic ambience. But don’t stop at just one — try mixing colour variations and layering multiple strands for more wow factor.
